The perfect PG to VG ratio...

[Jonathan R]

What is your recommended PG to VG ratio and why?

 

[SQToyota]

I like 80vg/20pg but it depnds on the setup and personal preference. tank? Or rda? Ect

Som get allergic reactions to pg or vg also

That's an interesting question, Jonathan. I'm not sure it's one anyone can really answer tho. As with everything vape, it's individual. Some have issues and problems with high PG. Others can't breathe well if they vape high VG.

I think we all had to fumble and find our way to our "perfect" ratio. I don't know that I'd ever recommend what I use, as that might or might not be suitable for "you".

I CAN tell you what I like and why. I use a 65/35 PG/VG blend. I like the flavor carrying qualities of PG with just a touch of the sweetness and increased vapor production of the VG.


"Taste is subjective. YMMV." And all that good stuff.

This is what I wanted! I know everybody is different and taste is subjective I just want to know what works for you and why! Thank you guys for your input!

Keep us posted on your journey to your 'perfect' ratio!

60vg40pg give the balance between flavor & cloud for me.

60/40 okay what type of device do you use? I was leaning towards 70/30.

 

[dennism]

30/70-pg/vg, because throat hit is not something i'm interested in.

 

[pokemom]

50/50 because my lungs can't take more than 50% vg without it feeling like I am drowning.

70VG / 30PG seems to be my devices sweet spot. also, i have noticed different liquids with the same ration are not always the same thickness....

80%VG does not wick well in my set up

 

[USACelt]

45pg/55vg
for Me in most of the RTA's I have

 

[93gc40]

75pg/25vg..
Why:
1. VG over 50% doesn't agree with me.
2. I like to SEE more vapor than 100% PG supplies.
3. I like less Throat hit that 100% PG.

It's all subjective (also has to do with your setup)! For example, I cannot for the life of me understand how people handle 50% or above PG.. even 50% is ahhhhh. It murders my throat past 50%. My personal sweet spot is 70/30 VG to PG, I get the flavor, smoothness, and a satisfying cloud. I also sub-ohm and take lung hits, simply feels weird to me amassing the vapor in my mouth and then inhaling, makes me cough.

60/40 VG to PG is pretty decent as well, I tend never to get a throat hit with it and for the sweeter juices it helps bring out the flavor more. Anything 70% VG or above though, will gunk up your coils quicker, especially with darker/sweeter juices. 80%+ is generally for dripping, it'll kill most coils 2x faster.

Remember! VG is for smoothness and cloud density, while PG is for throat hit, nicotine content, and a preservative to allow your juices a longer shelf life.

PG vs VG E Cig Juice: What are they, and how do I choose the best PG VG ratio? - onVaping

 

[Tmebs]

50/50 because I'm lazy and its easy for me to mix.
So far it works for me so, if it ain't broke don't fix it

I just squeeze 15mls of vg in a beaker and add my recipe and top off with pg to the 30 ml mark.

I started on 50/50 store bought juices and have tried higher vg blends also store bought and got the heavy chest thingy too.
When I started to only vape my own mixes, I only mixed 50/50.

60/40 , 70/30 and even 50/50 , (PG/VG), but i can't stand heavy VG juices .

Started out with 80/20 pg/vg, went all the way down to 20/80 pg/vg, now back to 70/30 pg/vg. I use little flavor, around 1%, and 3mg nic. Too much vg is too sweet for me and doesn't give me enough throathit, but i do need some clouds, around 30% vg is sufficient.

Quite odd, when vaping in the dark it doesn't give me real satisfaction, lack of visual excitation maybe.
